The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has publicly questioned President Bola Tinubu’s pledge to deliver 24/7 electricity to Nigerians within four years, NaijNaira can report.
In a statement shared on social media, the party’s interim spokesman, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, pointed to a campaign video where Tinubu promised stable power supply and an end to estimated billing, according to Sahara Reporters.
“Mr. President promised us uninterrupted electricity. All by himself,” Abdullahi said.
He criticized the current state of power distribution, noting a 240% increase in electricity tariffs and 12 national grid collapses since Tinubu assumed office.
“Over 90 million Nigerians still don’t have power,” he added. “Many people only get four to six hours daily under the Band A–E system.”
Abdullahi also highlighted how rural communities remain without access to electricity, saying most of Nigeria’s 50 million families in those areas are off-grid.
He accused the administration of having no reforms, no roadmap, and no urgency in addressing the power crisis.
“People still charge phones at kiosks and spend heavily on fuel for generators,” he said.
Recalling Tinubu’s own campaign vow, he quoted: “If I don’t give you electricity, don’t vote for me.”
“Nigerians are listening,” Abdullahi warned, “and come 2027, we intend to grant your wish.”
